Further to the recent launch of the new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) .FREE, .HOT and .SPOT in April, Amazon Registry continues the momentum and has announced the upcoming launch of three additional new gTLDs: .YOU, .TALK and .FAST.
Amazon Registry runs other new gTLDs, such as .BOT, .MOI (‘me’ in French), .NOW and .DEAL. It holds a number of additional new gTLDs in its portfolio which were delegated by ICANN some ten years ago but were never launched. Amazon Registry appears to be releasing them gradually and has now turned to .YOU, .TALK and .FAST.
As these three new gTLDs are likely to raise some interest, trade mark owners may wish to secure their trade marks under these new extensions before third parties can snap them up, especially as none of them have registration restrictions.
The launch schedule is as follows:
- Sunrise Period: from 26 August 2025 to 25 September 2025
During this period, trade mark holders who have registered their trade marks with the TradeMark Clearinghouse (TMCH) will be able to apply for the corresponding domain names under any of these three new gTLDs. It is a “Start Date” Sunrise for all three, meaning that domain names will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Early Access Period (EAP): from 25 September 2025 to 6 October 2025
During this period, available domain names may be registered by anyone on a first-come, first-served basis at a higher price, which will decrease day by day leading up to General Availability.
- General Availability: from 6 October 2025 onwards
As from this date, anyone will be able to register available YOU, .TALK and .FAST domain names on a first-come, first-served basis, at standard prices.
